ST. PAUL, Minn. - For the first time since his sophomore season, one of the most prolific scorers in Northern Sun history, senior Craig Heiman, has been named the NSIC Player of the Week, sharing the honor with St. Cloud State's Matt Schneck. Heiman tied his career high in scoring with 36 points in a dramatic triple overtime win over Southwest Minnesota State on Saturday while scoring 56 points in CU's two games.
